The Plot

THE PLOT: The Secret Story of The Protocols
of the Elders of Zion (2005) unravels one of the most
pernicious hoaxes of the twentieth century.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious
piece of anti-Semitic propoganda created and disseminated by Russia's secret
police 100 years ago, purported to be a blueprint written by Jewish leaders
for taking over the world. Although the Times of London revealed
in 1921 that The Protocols was a hoax, millions continue to believe
its fictitious plot is true. Now, a new generation, fueled by anti-Semitism
and the many Internet sites that spread hateful messages, has adapted the
text to suit its purposes.

THE PLOT: The Secret Story of The Protocols of the
Elders of Zion explains how and why the Protocols were crafted and
presents a pageant of historical figures, from Tsar Nicholas II to
Henry Ford to Adolf Hilter. THE PLOT exposes
the twisted history of the Protocols document, from 19th- century Russians
to modern-day Klan members to Islamic fundamentalists. By setting the record
straight, Eisner hoped he could raise public consciousness of anti-Semitism
throughout the world and draw attention to the nefarious ways in which governments
use propaganda to influence public opinion.
